A system for performing talk and data transmission by polling process between a plurality of terminal units (1) and a central station (3), which system is capable of interruption talk during data transmission. The central station (3) is provided with slots for use in interruption given at appropriate time intervals in the polling process. Thus the central station (3) is given, as one of its functions, the function of until the predetermined polling is finished, repeating steps of (i) generating interruption acceptance signals at appropriate intervals in the polling mode, (ii) giving thereafter a plurality of time slots for receiving the interruption signals from the terminal units, and (iii) when interruption signals from the terminal units are received in the plurality of time slots, returning to the talk mode by generating a polling finish signal and terminating the polling or simply terminating the polling, and when not received, continuing the polling. Thus the talk and the data transmission by polling process are realized in the same channel.
